Today’s Quote
Friendship grounded in virtue endures; it is a gift that reflects the goodness of God.
— Thomas Brooks
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
To be happy in this life, you need friends; and to be happy in the life to come, you must, above all, find a friend in God, the Father of His people.
True friendship can only be formed between true individuals. The heart is the foundation of honor. There can be no lasting friendship between wicked people.
Bad men may pretend to love each other, but their friendship is as fragile as a rope of sand, easily broken when convenient. But if a man has a sincere heart and is true and noble, then you can trust him.

James I once said of armor that "it was an excellent invention because it not only protected the wearer’s life but also prevented him from doing harm to anyone else." Similarly, excessive caution, which some believers pride themselves on, is equally destructive
to usefulness. They not only avoid persecution but also fail to take any action or fight any battle for the Lord Jesus.
